marking fins

[dump]

santa was good to me this year. i got new jet fins from him. what would be a good way to put my name on them? i lost a fin on a dive boat once. so i want to mark these.

Write your initials on the bottom of each fin with a Permanent Sharpie marker.

In what silver? They are black fins

I like to put a stripe of reflective tape on the bottoms.

Paint pen markers work well, better than sharpies on my Jets.

You can get them in different colors here:

Pilot-Silver Marker-Medium Point
or
Pentel-White-100W

Both seem to work reasonably well. As long as you don't mind annual re-aplication.

Sharpie permanent markers come in about 30 colors. Many of them are light colors like yellow, light green, red, orange, silver etc. Any of the light colors will show up on black fins.

Silver Sharpie - on the bottom of the blade, up near the foot pocket. Put my initials there 60 dives ago and they are still pristine.

I use a white paint pen and mark my initials so that they can be read by a diver from behind me. I marked them right by the inner part of the vent opening that doesn't touch the ground if I am standing in my fins so as no to wear on the lettering.

This may sound drastic but I installed a brass grommet in each
fin near the front. It gives me an attchment point to hang the
fins to drain and there is never any confusion between Jet Fins.

Has saved my fins more than once.
